Description of Anatomical Location of the Landmarks of the Femur and Acetabulum.
| Landmark | Description of Anatomical Location | |
|---|---|---|
| Femur | Femoral fovea (sup/inf) | The most superior and inferior portion of the femoral fovea |
| Femoral fovea (med/lat) | The most medial and lateral portion of the femoral fovea | |
| Head and neck junction (sup/inf) | The most superior and inferior portion of the head and neck junction of the femur | |
| Head and neck junction (med/lat) | The most medial and lateral portion of the head and neck junction of the femur | |
| Acetabulum | Acetabular fossa (ant/post) | The most anterior and posterior portion of the acetabular fossa where there is no cartilage articulation |
| Acetabular fossa (sup) | The most superior portion of the acetabular fossa where there is no cartilage articulation | |
| Insertion transverse ligament (ant/post) | The anterior and posterior insertions of the transverse ligament at the most inferior portion of the acetabular fossa | |
| Acetabular rim (superolateral) | Placed halfway between the ant/post transverse ligament landmarks by finding midpoint and creating an orthoganal line to the midpoint of the superolateral aspect of the acetabular rim |
Med = medial; lat = lateral; inf = inferior; sup = superior; post = posterior; ant = anterior.
